LXVIII.
French.
De l’Aquilon les efforts seront grands, Sur l’Occean sera la Porte ouverte, Le Regne en l’Isle sera re-integrand, Tremblera _Londres_ par voiles descouvertes.
English.
The endevours of the North shall be great, Upon the Ocean the gate shall be open, The Kingdom in the Island shall be re-established, _London_ shall quake, for fear of Sails discovered.
ANNOT.
This is a very remarkable one, which hath been fulfilled since the happy restauration of his sacred Majesty King _Charles_ II. now Reigning: For the endevours of the North, (_viz._ the _Dutch_) have been very great. The _ocean_; like a _gate_, hath been open to all kind of Armies, to play their pranks upon. His Majesty, and Kingdom, have been happily restored.
